My Professors

Forgiven ?

"Here you go."

Leo sighs before pushing his tray towards me. A small glare was on his face as he looked at me.

I smile in return. "Don't get mad now, you should have thought about that before you took my french toast."

I dump the French toast that was on his tray onto me. I'm guessing that they serve French toast on Mondays and Fridays.

And I couldn't be any happier to end the week with a happy breakfast.

The week was full of either studying or doing work. If I wasn't helping my Professors with their work then I would be at the library where I would be spending countless hours.

If it weren't for the librarian telling me they were closed then I would have probably been there till midnight.

Leo would come from time to time keeping me company. But I would have to threaten him to leave or do his work also. It was due to the fact that if I didn't I would probably procrastinate for too long and then I would end up talking for him too long.

I wanted to keep myself busy. Too busy to think about anything other than work. Or other things.

Things like my Professors.

Every time I would be in their classes I would get easily distracted by them. And their features.

I've stared at them so many times that I would expect myself to get sick of them but for some reason, I didn't.

And being at their house wasn't very helpful either. Being in their presence made me so anxious. Whenever I would look up while working I would end up catching one of their gazes. And that was something I disliked.

The way they would look at me scared me. It would cause me to ask myself questions.

Like do I look ugly? Is my hair Frizzy? Do I have something in my teeth?

But I would prefer that than thinking anything else. Sometimes the delusional side of me would kick in. However, I would prefer not to talk about that side.

"Fine. Since it's Friday I'm feeling generous. I'll give you some." I place a few French toast on Leo's plate sliding it back towards him.

A smile quickly spread onto his lips and he began to dig in.

I shook my head laughing before I began to do the same.

...

"I just want to sleep," Leo groaned leaning into me.

"Leo, you are going to knock us both down if you keep leaning into me." I grab ahold of his shoulder pushing him off me. Well, trying to push him off me...

Leo's been really close lately. I'm not complaining but it does surprise me. It's like getting a heart attack everyday.

"Want to go to the dinner after class today?" Leo asks after finally leaning off of me.

"I can't I have to help out Professor Ford."

He scoffs, "He doesn't even let you have Fridays off. What a dick."

I look up at Leo and my eyes widen in surprise.

"Leo why would you say something like that-"

"Ms. Jones."

I froze in my spot.

I looked behind me to find none other than Professor Ford.

I slowly crack a nervous smile, "G-good afternoon Professor Ford."
